| 7 | Yeah so many years later and my first instinct is still to remove nortons (if its there) as its the mostly likely cause of the users issue. bitsnpieces2020 - 2021-06-25 09:30:00 |

The original product based on Peter Norton's code was good, Symantec faffed with it, turned it into a monster and then it rapidly became an overblown product to be avoided. McAfee started out as a halfway decent product and suffered a similar commercialised fate. Edited by morticia at 10:39 am, Fri 25 Jun morticia - 2021-06-25 10:36:00 |

Back in the day, Nortons was probably the best. Mcafee wasn't to bad either. Norton sold his business to Symantec in 1990. The antivirus was pretty good in the 90s but went downhill after that. McAfee sold out in 1994 and it went downhill after that. duncb - 2021-06-26 07:43:00 |
